What makes a doctor different from a businessman, dentist, lawyer, politician, psychologist, nurse, researcher

There dozens of other professions that are more prestigous such as those in politics or law. There a few more in which you could make more money than a doctor. As far as giving back to the community, social workers or pyschologist can do that. It is not a mystery that dentists yield more money than a doctor... then what motives does one need to pursue the career of a physician?

I will say at the outset here that implicit in this question we must assume you ask as regards Americans and the American world of medicine.

That aside, you have two prime questions going here: "What makes a doctor different from..." and the other "what motives does one need" to pursue medicine?

Think about it, no one profession quite avails us with the insights into our state of well being quite like that of a physician, whose training does comprise a fair measure of interdisciplinary learning and exposure in the academic setting and therefore tends to warrant awe in others.

Second to this, there exists that intrique of the physician in especially the United States unlike in any other country...much of which involves vanity and popular thought and of course the academic mystique afforded given that so few people accomplish to the level of a physician due in part because of both time and money that the pursuit requires.

As to the motivation?: one would like to think because it is the profession that one loves.

'Another?: again vanity, -- its ' license ' to avail entree into the world of affectation, of appearances, say, and of both presumed comparative financial prosperity and social honor.

In any other profession, you might get slapped when telling a woman to remove her clothes!

The desire to help others in medical situations?
